Niflumic acid is a drug used for joint and muscular pain. It is categorized as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2. In experimental biology, it has been employed to inhibit chloride channels.^[2] It has also been reported to act on GABA-A^[3] and NMDA channels^[4] and to block T-type calcium channels.^[5]
